There is plenty to see an do in Caripe on the Venezuela programmes. If you are taking your gap year  in Venezuela it is a definite must do.

Caripe is en route to the Orinoco Delta so we took the opportunity to develop an extended layover here for variety. we also run conservation volunteer programs there including a reforestation project with research centre and nurseries – but basically is a well known area for coffee plantations and local fruit and veg farming culture.

Accomodation is tents and while there we continue intensive Spanish lessons and do cultural trips including study of Guachero cave (discovered/made famous by Alexander von Humbolt and famous for huge quantity of ‘oil birds’), visits to coffee plantations, fruit and veg farms, and local markets. We also run mountain trekking to waterfalls, caves etc.
